First U.S. Deportation Charter to Buenos Aires Set to Land This Week

Argentine officials are staying quiet to avoid straining visa‑waiver negotiations with Washington.

Overview

  • An Omni Air International Boeing 767-300 is scheduled to reach Ezeiza between Sept. 10 and 11 after planned stops in Bogotá and Belo Horizonte, according to Brazilian aviation filings.
  • The flight, listed as OAE-3642, is the first this year chartered by the U.S. for deportations with Buenos Aires as the final destination, and schedules remain subject to change.
  • Media reports say roughly 16 Argentine nationals will be on board and are accused of offenses that include immigration violations, robberies and sexual assaults, with no official count released.
  • Argentina’s embassy in Washington has received lists of citizens considered deportable, and prior removals have typically occurred on commercial flights with detainees escorted by U.S. agents.
  • U.S. removals have accelerated in 2025, with ICE reporting about 200,000 deportations and DHS airing Spanish-language warnings featuring Secretary Kristi Noem that urge migrants not to enter illegally.
